Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental investigation), such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify each party against whom indemnification is to be sought in writing of the commencement thereof (but the failure so to notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under this Section 7 except to the extent that it has been prejudiced in any material respect by such failure or from any liability which it may have otherwise). In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party and the payment of all expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to employ its or their own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party or parties unless (i) the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by one of the indemnifying parties in connection with the defense of such action, (ii) the indemnifying parties shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to have charge of the defense of such action within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action, or (iii) such indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably -26- concluded and have been so advised in a written opinion from counsel that there may be defenses available to it or them which are different from or additional to those available to one or all of the indemnifying parties (in which case the indemnifying parties shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party or parties), in any of which events such fees and expenses shall be borne by the indemnifying parties. Anything in this subsection to the contrary notwithstanding, an indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any claim or action effected without its written consent; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such consent was not unreasonably withheld. d. CONTRIBUTION. In order to provide for contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in Section 7.a and b hereof is for any reason held to be unavailable from the Company, or you, or is insufficient to hold harmless a party indemnified thereunder, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, the Company, and you shall contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable expenses of the nature contemplated by such indemnification provisions (including any investigation, legal and other reasonable expenses incurred in connection with, and any amount paid in settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding or any claims asserted, but after deducting in the case of losses, claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable expenses suffered by the Company or you any contribution received by the Company or you from persons who may also be liable for contribution, including persons who control the Company or you within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, officers of the Company who signed the Registration Statement and directors of the Company) to which the Company or you may be subject, in such proportions as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and by you from the offering of the Securities or, if such allocation is not permitted by applicable law or indemnification is not available as a result of the indemnifying party not having received notice as provided in Section 7.d hereof in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to above but also the relative fault of the Company and you in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and by you shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as (a) the total proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to (b) the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by you in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus. The relative fault of the Company and of you shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by you or any agent expressly authorized by you to supply such information and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and you agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7.d were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7.d, (i) in no case shall you be liable or responsible for any amount in excess of the underwriting discount applicable to the Securities purchased hereunder and (ii) no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any -27- person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 7.d, each person, if any, who controls an underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as you, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, each officer of the Company who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 7.d. Any party entitled to contribution will, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action, suit or proceeding against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made against another party or parties under this Section 7.d, notify such party or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission to so notify such party or parties shall not relieve the party or parties from whom contribution may be sought from any obligation it or they may have under Section 7.d or otherwise. No party shall be liable for contribution with respect to any action or claim settled without its consent; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such consent was not unreasonably withheld. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (A) any investigation made by or on behalf of you or any person controlling you or by or on behalf of the Company, (B) acceptance of any of the Securities and payment therefore or (C) any termination of this Agreement. A successor to the Company, its directors or officers or any person controlling the Company or to the Underwriter, shall be entitled to the benefits of the indemnity, contribution, and reimbursement agreements contained in this Section 7. 8.
